Patrick Crayton opened up about his former team in an interview this week with XX1090-AM in San Diego.

Traded from the Cowboys to the Chargers shortly before the start of the season, Crayton was asked about Wade Phillips’ laid-back ways.

“Wade is very, very, very laid back, to where you want him to tighten up,” said Crayton, whose comments were first reported by DCFanatic.com’s Brian Gallagher.

The outspoken wide receiver went on to suggest that Phillips’ easy-going style is harmful to the team’s younger players, the ones who need discipline the most.

Crayton also made it clear that Phillips “has nothing whatsoever” to do with the offense. Phillips, of course, wants us to believe otherwise.

I appreciate Crayton’s candor, but he’s a bit hypocritical in his comments regarding Phillips. In 2007, Crayton welcomed the arrival of Phillips because he was tired of Bill Parcells’ heavy-handed ways. I can remember talking to Crayton at an event in San Antonio he was helping to promote and he made it clear that he was tired of Parcells’ hard-nosed style.
